Internationaler Buchtitel. In englischer Sprache.

Rather than emphasize the law as the rules and regulations of society, or as the sphere of the judiciary, the goal is to understand the law as essential to a fully human life. In addition, an effort is made to show how this view can be fostered by the law itself and all its practitioners. Obstacles to this view are, first, a romantic vision of a mythic past without law, then the lure of anarchism. Third, there is the positivism prevalent among practicing attorneys and jurists. Fourth, there is the view that the most important thing is not to be lawful but moral. Finally, fundamentalists everywhere strive to resacralize the law. Against these views, the book argues that there is a deeply spiritual dimension of even the secular law, which we must appropriate to ourselves.
